Plot

The exact plot of Kingdom Come is not widely documented. However, as with many silent Western shorts of the era, it likely centered on themes of frontier justice, romance, and conflict between outlaws and lawmen.

Production

Produced during the height of silent Western shorts, Kingdom Come was part of Hoot Gibson’s early career as a Western film actor. It may have been filmed in California, where many Westerns of the time were shot, though production details remain scarce.

Release and reception

Kingdom Come was released on June 21, 1919, and shown as part of Western film programs popular in American theaters, especially in rural areas. Contemporary reviews are unavailable, and like many short films from the period, it did not receive extensive critical attention.

Preservation status

The current preservation status of Kingdom Come is unknown. As with many silent films of the 1910s, it is possible that no known copies exist and it may be considered a lost film.
